  1. You are given the following linear programming model in algebraic form, where x1 and x2 are the decision variables and Z is the value of the overall measure of performance.

Maximise Z = x1 + 2x2

Subject to

Constraint on resource 1: x1 + x2 5 Constraint on resource 2: x1 + 3x2 5

  1. Identify the objective function, the functional constraints, and the nonnegativity constraints in this model
  2. Incorporate this model into a spreadsheet
  3. Is (x1,x2) = (3,1) a feasible solution?
  4. Is (x1, x2) = (1,3) a feasible solution?
  5. Use Solver in Excel to solve this model
